What time are you planning for your ceremony? We were thinking about doing dinner right after the ceremony and photos and then maybe a cocktail hour after dinner (we're considering the pool bar) to do speeches and a first dance, etc. Afterwards we're planning on heading to the disco for those who want to continue the party! We'll have to have a celebratory cheers! I'm hoping you're laid back vibes will flow my way! I'm trying to figure out every detail but starting to realize that it's going to be best if we just go with the flow!

We're undecided on speeches too, maybe we'll just say a few words at dinner and leave it at that. Other than that I'm taking a very laid back approach to my planning, we are fully embracing the idea of "island time", lol.

We'd like the ceremony to be finishing right around sunset. They suggested 5:30 but we'll know for sure once we get there as we'll need to discuss the length of the ceremony with the officiant. Our photographer will have to move fast but it'll be worth it for a sunset backdrop. We're just having everyone drink their free champagne while we take pics for 20 min or so and then straight to dinner. I guess we'll see eachother at the disco!

I am having my entire wedding off site, ceremony and reception but we are staying at the Iberostar and the rehersal is going to be at the Iberostar. We are having the wedding at the Tryall Club...its about 30 mins from the resort.

Would love to chat - we are now looking into the off-site option, my FI and I think it would be really nice to take our guests off the resort and enjoy some private time with everyone.

Hey Thanks for your help I have been reading the threads trying to get information on everything. And the Date is secured For April 12,2012 at the Suites!!!!

I'm new to this website but it has helped me find the resort and get info on everything else. I have contacted a few photoraphers Misha Earle,Marcia Roberts, Saab, and Stacey Clarke. I'm trying to decide on which one now, its so hard as they all look fabulous. any sugestions or reviews on these photographers? Does anyone have any info on DJs and Steel drum bands, I was looking at Raven Rhoden? for the ceremony and toast. Also has any previous brides used the spa at the suites for hair and makeup are they good and reasonably priced?? Thanks
